1829. June Article on Utilitarianism.

75.
Locke, to whom
mankind owe a debt
had not then got beyond
aristocracy,
the subject many had
not got within his
sphere of observation.

The case is that, in the mind of this philosopher,
to whom, after all, the debt owed by mankind
is so indisputable, real and extensive - expansion had
not at that time at least, gone beyond aristocracy, the
opulent, the ruling, the influential few : the people,
the purely subject many, had not yet fallen within
the sphere of his observation - arrived at the apparent
magnitude, necessary to the being numbered among
the objects of his care.

76.
Indisputable evidence
of this, his Constitution
for one of the Carolinas.

That in respect of expansion such
was the state of his mind - that in respect of objects
belonging to the art and science of morals, politics, and
thence legislation included, is a proposition the truth
of which is rendered but too in and by his Constitution
of one of the Carolinas : a performance
which from that day to this has never been spoken
of in any other character than that of a failure.

77.
Accordingly the best
of all Gods for Whig idolatry
in conjunction with
Catholic slavery, constitution
of 1688.

He is accordingly the properest
of all Gods which, within the sphere of politics, can be
found for the idolatry of the Whigs, for the worshipping
of the matchless and all-perfect Constitution, for the
glorious revolution of 1688, with the slavery of all
Roman Catholics under all Protestants which forms
so prominent an article in the list of the blessings
that have been discovered flowing from it.
